There are temporary exhibitions, shows, courses, tourist information, all connected to Japan. There is also a cafe and shop on the ground floor.
Trianon Park: Parque Trianon is a green area, a remnant of the Atlantic Forest, in the middle of the skyscrapers. It is a green oasis for rest. The park is well maintained, with benches and people hanging around. It was opened in 1892 and houses several species of trees and birds. The curious thing is that a street cuts through the park in the middle and a bridge connect both sides of the park.
